Great location and good quality accommodations. The moisture in the cabin was a bit high, but other than that we loved it. Great grill for cooking and plenty of kitchen equipment.

Very enjoyable stay in this cabin. Kitchen was well equipped for anything you need for cooking. Coffee and tea, as well as a good selection of spices were provided. Outside propane BBQ grill was nice to have available. Very convenient location for access to the Apgar west entrance or the Two Medicine lake east entrance to the park. We would definitely stay at the Bear Den again if we come back to Glacier!

Clean and cute cabin with all that you need. Accurate description. I shld’ve done better research using this as base for Glacier as it is FAR from many glacier and st mary which is where I spent most of my time. Easy to communicate with owners and very nice cabin.

Disliked: Cleanliness, property conditions & facilities
The Pros: Good location situated half way between West and East side of the park but there is still one-half hour drive to either side so factor that in to daily plan. It would be a good idea to take a portable heater and lamp as it is an older cabin and the lighting is a challenge. The bathroom was cold. However, the housekeeper was very nice and prompt and brought both items to us.

Nice little cabin in the woods!

Very comfortable and nicely appointed cabin in the woods. Bed was very comfy! Furniture was great. Stayed 3 nights and cooked all meals. Kitchen and grill were great! Close enough to Glacier. Only two wall heaters. Took a little to get used to.

Quiet little cabin

Cute cabin. It was just what we needed for our stay. They had maps and recommendations for hikes and things to do and places to eat in a book. Even had bear spray so we didn’t have to buy any.

Little Gem!

Let me first start by saying my wife and I have rented well over 50 properties from VRBO in the last 20 years. We always look for little gems off the beaten path to enhance the overall experience of the location. This one was no exception. Varvara Is a wonderful host and the property is beautiful. The cabin is well appointed with everything you need from firewood to utensils and everything in between. The cabin is beautifully decorated and is super cozy. That being said the only reason I gave a four star is because what is not disclosed is the fact that the cabin is about 40 feet from HWY 2, the main artery between the glaciers, and for my own personal taste it was hard to sit outside and enjoy the millions of stars in the BIG Montana sky when you hear traffic flying by at 70 miles an hour. Would I stay here again? YES! The location is perfect for exploring the area and it is truly a Little Gem.
